Went to Elanjippara Waterfalls, Marottichal without preparation

Yesterday we ( me and my friend Amal Raj) went to Elanjippara Waterfalls, Marottichal. We didn’t prepare for this journey at all. We started late – about 2:30PM. Its a 20 km trip to Marottichal. We reached there about in half hour. We weren’t prepared for the 4km trekking uphill. We had to stop mid way and return back.

What we should have done is start in the morning at around 10 AM with food to last us the entire day. This will give us enough time as my friend Amal is a photo blogger and he will stop at every 10 sec and make me wait for 5 min till he gets the shot.
